Thrilling NEW Audiobooks

It is 1921 and Mary
Russell--Sherlock Holmes's brilliant apprentice, now an Oxford graduate
with a degree in theology--is on the verge of acquiring a sizable
inheritance.

Independent at last, with a passion for divinity and
detective work, her most baffling mystery may now involve Holmes and the
burgeoning of a deeper affection between herself and the retired
detective. Russell's attentions turn to the New Temple of God and its
leader, Margery Childe, a charismatic suffragette and a mystic, whose
draw on the young theology scholar is irresistible.

But when four
bluestockings from the Temple turn up dead shortly after changing their
wills, could sins of a capital nature be afoot? Holmes and Russell
investigate, as their partnership takes a surprising turn.

Sidetracked by Henning Mankell

Kurt Wallander is
called to a nearby rapeseed field where a teenage girl has been
loitering all day long. He arrives just in time to watch her douse
herself in gasoline and set herself aflame. The next day he is called to
a beach where Sweden’s former Minister of Justice has been axed to
death and scalped. The murder has the obvious markings of a demented
serial killer, and Wallander is frantic to find him before he strikes
again.

But his investigation is beset with a handful of obstacles—a
department distracted by the threat of impending cutbacks and the
frivolity of World Cup soccer, a tenuous long-distance relationship with
a murdered policeman’s widow, and the unshakably haunting preoccupation
with the young girl who set herself on fire.
